Great things about 'Legs up the Wall'

Get the same benefits of an inversion without having to balance on your head or do a handstand! (who wants to that before bed anyway?)

​It's a restorative pose, meaning you can completely relax in it and you don't have to 'do' anything.

Helps relieve swollen ankles and tired feet.

​Gives the backs of the legs a nice little stretch.

Can help aid sleep, so great for helping insomnia.

How to do it.

Scootch up close to wall and put your legs up.

If your hamstrings are tight you can just be a little further away from the wall.

To get an extra lift up pop a pillow under your bum.

Have your arms relaxed by your side or for a lovely chest openers put your arms into the hands up position.
